Noob Alert!!!

Post by wazza1234 »

Hey dudes!!

Just convinced the missus I need a bike, which, don't we all? ;)

Picked up a 98 model GPX250r and am currently in the process of getting licenced for it and its bigger brothers. Always been a big fan of the kawasaki's and now I got myself one...WOOHOO!!!! Certainly beats the scooter I was riding (how embarrassing :oops: )

Its excellent to see all the support form the riding community here and at other places I have seen, its like an eliteist (spelling??!?) club membership.

Look forward to participating in the forums and increasing my knowledge of my bike and riding practices. I would also like to eventually go to track days and day trips with people when I am more confident on 2 wheels.

For those who are interested, I am from Toowoomba in QLD (west of brissy) and work about 30km further west as an Engineer for a smallish manufacturing company.

How did I know that bonester was your instructor? Could it have had something to do with your comment on riding the instructors GN250? Hmm...I wonder???

Welcome Wazza.. Don't listen to them, the scooter rocks :shock:

BTW: The oil leak is a roadworthy issue, they will fix it. :wink:
